Three Domains of Teacher Leadership(Pietersen, 2015)
Leadership of self = Demonstrating authenticity, self-knowledge and sound personal values. Teacher are responsible for their own development through further education and training. One can only lead if you yourself know where you are going
Leadership of others = The capacity to understand and empathize with others. Teachers are leading learners, colleagues and parents. They are influencing views and building character
Leadership of organizations = Establishing an effective process to achieve success. Teacher are leading extra-mural activities, community events etc. They are members of society that has the advantage of influencing lives
What is Teacher Leadership?
Teacher leadership can be described as a model of leadership in which teaching staff have an opportunity to lead. It is a group process in which a range of people can participate. (Grant, Gardner, Kajee, Moodley & Somaroo, 2010)
Leadership compliments management, but it does not substitute it. (Kotter, 1998)
Teacher leadership also involves the parents to improve academic outcomes (Berry, Daughtery & Wieder, 2010)
Teacher leaders take responsibility for their own professional development (Killion, Harrison, Colton, Bryan, Delehant & Cooke, 2016)
Teacher leadership helps the school adapt to its changing function in society (Grant, Gardner, Kajee, Moodley & Somaroo, 2010)
